What do you think of it?

Accuracy?

Pros?

Cons?

Does it maintain doctrines like the head covering?
I use the HCSB as my primary version. I am no expert in translation differences, but I like how it reads. It's not essentially different from any other major modern English version. It has the same reading on the head covering as the other versions.
